A Morning Offering

I love this poem by John O’Donahue. A wonderful reminder that every day is a new beginning. Namaste – K.

A Morning OfferingI bless the night that nourished my heartTo set the ghosts of longing freeInto the flow and figure of dreamThat went to harvest from the darkBread for the hunger no one sees.All that is eternal in meWelcome the wonder of this day.The field of brightness it createsOffering time for each thingTo arise and illuminate.I place on the altar of dawn,The quiet loyalty of breath.The tent of thought where I shelter,Wave of desire I am shore toAnd all beauty drawn to the eye.May my mind come alive todayTo the invisible geographyThat invites me to new frontiers,To break the dead shell of yesterdays,To risk being disturbed and changed.May I have the courage todayTo live the life that I would love,To postpone my dream no longerBut to do at last what I came here forAnd waste my heart on fear no more.
